Here are a couple of my projects in progress. The first is a scarf made from the Lion Brand Fun Fur Stripes yarn. From the moment I saw this yarn in the store, I thought "how fun!" I had to try it. I knit on this scarf at work at lunchtime, and everyone always oohs and ahhhhhhs over the stripes as they appear. It really is fun to knit with. I am going to use it in several colors to knit some chemo caps. The only drawback to this yarn is the short yardage - only 57 yards per skein - so I am sure that it will take more than one ball to knit a chemo cap. Oh well, I am sure I can combine the leftovers from the second ball with some other leftovers to make an even more interestingly striped chemo cap! Like last year, I will post the chemo cap pictures before I take them to Lynchburg Hematology Oncology in October.
The second picture is of the shawl I am making out of Berrocco Suede. It is somewhat bigger than this picture by now, but it is still moving a bit more slowly than the other projects due to the size (it is awfully hot here to have too much yarn in your lap!!!) I took the India Sunset Scarf to work yesterday, and I thought I would never get it back from Cathyanne, the lab secretary! She took off down the hall wearing it, and I thought I had seen the end of it forever! She finally did give it back, but she told me this morning that she thought about that scarf all night long last night. Then she asked me if we were going to play Pollyanna at Christmas again this year. (HINT, HINT?????)
